your intro just earned you a sub right of the bat

How would you recommend developing these partials and handing them over to OpenMDAO? Would you suggest a symbolci python package to compute them?

Equally, I have run a few loops in OpenMDAO without informing the partials at all, and it still solves the problem. Is it developing partials for me automatically?

Thanks!
